I'm actually considering getting a refund. The viability of a miner is starting to make little sense. Last month I made 52 bitcoins through trading altcoins -> bitcoins. My two neptunes I have on order will take a considerably amount of time to make that (if ever). The $20k+ I have sunk into the neptunes I can turn into higher returns much quicker without overheads. $1600 spent also on 4 x 1500w PSUs already for these units.

It is not looking like feb will deliver. Running through potential returns from the hosted contract (whenever that is? again very vague) makes the whole opportunity a waste of time and money when engaging with the crypto market as a whole.

Many miners are in it as they love the tech and the 'mining'. Its like getting a new car. You want to drive it and simply have it, take it for a spin, give it a clean on the weekends. You don't want your mate to own it (after you paid full ticket price) and offer to drive you wherever whenever you want. The same logic applies.

If it's purely about the money then mining is illogical against the current crypto landscape. I'm giving it two weeks and if not more actual dates materialise; then I am dumping the 2 Neptunes to buy some skanky alt coins to flip.
